Desktop Aviator Control Panel Experiences?

Featured Replies

Does anyone have any experience with the Desktop Aviator line of FSX controllers? These are the ones that are similar to the Saitek "black boxes" to control autopilot, radios, etc, but they do not have the digital readouts on the boxes themselves...You read the frequencies etc on the FSX panel itself...They are cheaper than the Saiteks and seem like a good deal...Thanks for any info...Steve in Kansas

I have the Desktop Aviator 8 switch box with led lights that connects to a single USB port. I've had it for a couple of years, works great with both FS9 and FSX. Flight Sim recognizes it as a controller and you can assign the switches within the sim or using FSUIPC. I use mine for autopilot functions.Dale
